As the name implies, Hotguitars play guitars, and they're a duo (hooray!). Guitarist Jyrki Laiho used to play guitar with Finnish krautrocky metallers Circle, and guitarist T-mu Korpipää was Circle's soundman. I found their second album, Hierarkia (recorded with Finnish poet Santtu Puukka joining them), in a bargain bin. The cover was interesting and it was only 25¢, so how could I pass it up? How, I ask you?

Today's song, however, is from the Confessions EP, released in-between Hierarkia and their debut, Duets, Duels & D.I.Y.'s (a CDR limited to 150 copies). It's one of their more pounding numbers, and I dig it rather a lot.

What will happen to music like this when album covers are gone? (and used record stores, for that matter) I wonder if they'll have to rely on creative track titles. (Not that Budapest Bukkake is uncreative)

Why Are the Little Cover Pictures Different Sizes?

Because I'm enough of a nerd and purist that cover art is now proportional, beginning with the December 25 post of 2011. LPs are the biggest, so they get the full 500 pixel image. Everything else is to scale! If you want to see a small cover full size, hover over it with your mousey device.

This applies only to the artwork for the item featured in the post. Other pictures throughout are the sizes they are, so keep your gosh darn mouse away from them!
